Nice going.  You've got a talent for this sort of Rube Goldberg technical wizardry .

Thank you thank you, any time a project works along side with the E-Unit it is automatically a Rube Goldberg machine . I have simply added to that machine. I'm just glad it worked out that I get to keep the E-Unit in place. My board still does not actually check the position so the forward and reverse of the LC remote control/app are more like suggestions than anything else.

I also need to start shrinking down my components, I had the cover on before adding E-Unit control, now I just need to get creative. Maybe I should try a tether to the dummy unit for sound and rear coupler control. After that I will try and sync the speed steps up with my other LC locomotives. I technically have about 1024 speed steps to work with on my custom control board. I am working on a train detector circuit that allows me to tell the scale MPH of a train based on how long it takes to cover a certain distance. I will then use those numbers to calibrate my different locos to the exact same speed. 

I still want to buy the modern LC+ Erie Alco B unit to go with my two postwar Erie Alco A units from 1954 (one powered, one dummy).
